Yes i know its that time of year and everyones asking their pumpkin brewing questions, and i have one as well! however i have not yet seen any one come across this issue or a fix for it.
Basically I brewed a sort of pumpkin dark ale a bit ago, and its not quite got the pumpkin flavor i've been looking for. I later realized that i did not cook the pumpkin before "steeping" it due to some confusing verbage of a recipe i was going off of.
I was wondering if theres anything i can do in the secondary to give it a bit more pumpkin-ness. Even the actual spices seem to lack focus and the only real discernable flavor seems to be vanilla. Any ideas?
